    90% of the rookies are in the Minus save a few.

    There's only 3 rookies who have played at least 300 minutes this season in the positive, in order

    Sengun
    Mobley
    Barnes

    Wow! What do they say, a picture is worth 1000 stats?

    Mobley and Barnes balling outta control, they are going against starters so big ups to them. Clear ROY candidates and it’s not even remotely close.

    Huge props to Sengun too, he’s playing limited minutes against the second unit but he is still amazingly productive during that time, it’s what we can all plainly see too.

    Alperen Şengün will be the best player from this draft. IMDHO

    a DJ, Sengun and Green line up would be pretty good. But defensively we might give up a lot of points.

    I think any line up with Sengun and 4 other shooters would be really good

    That would likely just drag Sengun down like it did everyone else who had to share the court with Green this season. Why tie an anchor to his neck like that?

    They might both move towards the middle that’s true

    they alos have a huge advantage of playing normal minutes and in huge blocks...not easy to get into rhythm playing in short spurts of 4 minutes

    Was Harden only good in okc because he was playing vs the bench?

    a lot of good players start off from the bench, do well, start, magically continue to do well vs starters

    Not to mention he does play against starters. People act like every team has the same rotation Silas does for starters.

    Only reason Manu was good was because he only played against bench players.
